I want to cut some thin stainless that I have in my shop to create so door
sill protectors for my car. BUT how can I cut it without leaving tool marks
or stretching the material? My chocies.


One way we used to cut thin metal for electronic prototypes was to clamp it
strongly between two pieces of 3/4" plywood, then cut at high speed with a
lot-o-teeth carbide blade in a table saw.
